• Captive screws on the filter eliminate lost hardware and ensure a tight seal
• Built-in 3-angle velocity stack in the base for smooth, even airflow
• Inverted top filter design increases surface area for longer filter life and enhanced appearance

Construction & Design

The Quantum Pro Cold Air Intake is crafted from premium materials to withstand the rigors of daily driving and high-performance use. The intake tube is constructed from high-impact, heat-resistant XLPE plastic, which minimizes heat soak and maintains consistent air temperatures for optimal combustion. The injection-molded base and top of the Pro 5R filter provide lightweight rigidity and durability, ensuring long-lasting performance.

The system’s unique filter-to-housing design integrates the air filter directly into the intake housing, reducing turbulence and improving airflow efficiency. The silicone bellows coupling adds flexibility and absorbs engine vibrations, preventing stress on the intake components and simplifying installation.

Performance & Sound

The aFe Quantum Pro intake system delivers noticeable performance improvements, including up to 16 additional horsepower and 15 lb-ft of torque, verified through dyno testing. The increased airflow and optimized intake path enhance throttle response and engine efficiency. Additionally, the intake produces a deeper, more aggressive induction sound that enhances the driving experience without being overly loud or intrusive.

Installation & Fitment

This intake system is designed as a direct bolt-on upgrade for the 2009–2018 Ram 1500 5.7L Hemi, utilizing factory mounting points and requiring no cutting, drilling, or modifications. The kit includes all necessary clamps, couplings, and hardware for a straightforward installation that can typically be completed in under an hour with basic hand tools. The silicone bellows coupling and integrated filter design further simplify the process, ensuring a secure and precise fit.
